For the Legacy Players. Please give us a goodbye gift.

First I want to start by saying this isn't going to be a rant. (At least not totally. lol) And I want to say Thanks Bungie, for giving me an excellent game to play for the better part of 2 years. It has been a wild ride full of fun, laughter, and sometimes frustration. But definitley an interesting ride the whole way. However... I; as a legacy player that's been around since Beta, will of course be a bit sad to see the Destiny community move forward without me. (I don't plan on buying current gen anytime soon.) One of the main things that made me sad (and made my whole PS3 clan sad) was the fact that we weren't going to be able to play Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris anymore. We have always been a Crucible first kind of clan and to us we always felt that the Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris were... Just Part of the Game. The only reason most of us have gotten over or near 320 is because of the Iron Banner drops and infusion. I've never even beaten King's Fall! Or taken on the Challenge of the Elders! (I know some people will consider that heresy. lol) I just like pvp in shooting games and those pve events just feel like too much of a hassle to bother with all the time. Only occasionally. I think having the Crucible as a reliable way of gaining Light should be just as important as "end game activities." And now my only reliable and preferred way of raising my Light is going away? But all the happy pve players get to keep their King's Fall and Challenge of Elders? Why is that? And how is it that Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris are considered "live events" when they happen all the time? lol. That being said I really just wish for one thing. A parting gift. A thank you gift of some kind. I know this is wishful thinking but my first, kind of bigger idea is this... Two permanent Crucible playlists. One that is like the Iron Banner that drops Year Two and maybe even Year One Iron Banner rewards with increasing Light. And one that is like Trials of Osiris with Year Two and maybe even Year One Trial of Osiris rewards at the end of matches. These post-match rewards for both playlist would also include armor shaders, emblems, and ships. And both of these playlists could be level advantages enabled or even not enabled, either way. But the big difference between these modes and the real events would be: No Lord Saladin in the Tower, No rank up packages, No bounties from Brother Vance in the Reef, and no Trials Passages (which means no trips to the Lighthouse.) That's my first idea for a goodbye and thank you to legacy players. A bare bones version of both Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris. If this is not acceptable then other options would be to just put all these rewards as frequent post-match rewards in ALL the regular Crucible playlists. Or make these rewards as a 2nd and 3rd guaranteed reward from Crucible rank up packages. The packages would have their one normal guaranteed rewards, then an Iron Banner guaranteed reward, then a Trials of Osiris guaranteed reward, and of course the normal possible rewards. Just a few options for keeping the Crucible viable for Legacy Players going forward. My other idea is fairly simple. Give us Year One infusion. On all armor and weapons that we still have from Year One. And all of this would be for LEGACY CONSOLES ONLY. To give us something to enjoy until we might can move forward to current gen. But yeah those are my ideas. All I'm asking for is a thank you for our time and money spent. Not too much too ask right? I don't think so. Thank you to all who read this and God Bless. :) (EDIT: A little clarification for some people that are apparently confused. I'm NOT asking to keep Iron Banner or Trials of Osiris. I'm just asking for a way to be able to still get the CURRENT rewards those two events currently reward. And I'm NOT asking for new rewards. Just wanted everyone to know that.)

    • Yeah i understand the frustration of the OP, but i just got tired of starting to miss next gen exclusive beta's and now next gen exclusive games. It took me months to save up for my PS4, but i did it. If you don't get a PS4 or Xbox One, you're gonna start missing out on a lot of games.

        • I found this post a refreshing topic to read. It was nice to see someone talking about this subject without the salt, cursing and bad attitude that it seems some people are unable to do. I'm a PS4 player and I do understand why Bungie have decided to go down this root, but i do feel bad for the legacy console owners and for those who have felt they have had to upgrade consoles just to play the game they love. Whatever the outcome, let's just enjoy Destiny for what it is. Peace out guardians

              • Yall had 10 years on those consoles. You got enough of a gift even getting to play this game. I'm so glad Bungie doesn't have to waste time trying to make every new idea they have compatible with technology that is a decade old. Stop being cheap and just buy a used ps4.

              • I'd like Pokemon Go on my Motorola Razer flip phone. WHY BUNGIE BE SO MEAN? That's what you sound like. MAYBE you guys could get a shader or emblem once you come over to current gen. That's fine. Otherwise no. It's not fair to the 90% of us who are already current gen to have 10% of you have exclusive weapons and armor.

              • I completely agree with you. Even though I'm on current gen, I can definitely see that IB and Trials would be missed by previous gen players. Even if it had to be automated, I think it would be a great idea. The one thing that I saw about your idea that was a little… well… unattainable… was the y1 infusion. Bungie wants previous gen players to keep playing Destiny, and does so by transferring their accounts to current gen. If y1 infusion became a thing for previous gen, when players transferred over, y1 infused weapons would be in the current gen, and at risk of balance, would never be allowed. All this to say, I like the idea of giving something commemorative to legacy consoles, but I don't think y1 infusion is the way to do it.

              • Why is this even upvoted? I'm sorry, but this isn't going to happen(nor should it). Just continue your journey on a new console - that can be your "gift".

              • If I can move on, so can the each of you. Budgeting does wonders. Took me months to save up, but I finally did. It is possible if you want it to be.

                • The current gen consoles have been out for more than 3 years now. It is time to move on if you are serious into gaming even a little bit. I am of the camp that I want companies to quit making games for both gens. Next gen only please. We should get better overall games across the board without catering to so many system parameters. If they gave you any gift at all it should be the ability to carry over your game data to next gen so you won't have wasted your time. That's all you need.

                    • Your infusion idea won't happen. If it did, Bungie would be in a world of hurt. Last gen players make up 10% of the community. That means the other 85%-90% would be highly pissed because Bungie didn't bring yr1 gear up to yr2. It's ok to dream, but in reality, you might as well forget about it.

                    • I like the idea of Y1 infusion for us, though. You PS4 types can fight mecha-Fallen, wave flaming battle-axes, and get doggy kisses from wolves. I'll just run around Venus slaughtering Minotaurs with a 335 Word of Crota.

                      • Your idea is good but a pipe dream sorry to say. Bungie is putting all there money on 1 horse. Its not economically in their best interest to waste time and resources on last gen. Plus ill bet you sony and microsoft are pushing them so more people will now go out and buy new systems. They will not throw you a bone that ruins the whole stick and carrot concept. They want you to go, dam I'm missingout,better get a new console. Its all about money,and last gen is not in that scenario. Loyalty means nothing to them at coporate level. Money does tho.

                      • I mean... I kinda doubt you'll get ToO/IB. And if that's the case, why would you need Y1 infusion? Not to mention, what happens when you actually DO upgrade to PS4/X1 after you infused all the VoG shit? That gear just gonna drop down to 170 or what's the story? I say meh.

                      • It would be a nice gesture but I don't think you realize how much time and effort Bungie would have to put into implementing these requests. And I seriously doubt they want to dump any more time or money into legacy consoles. They can't even implement things correctly on current gen systems without screwing something up!
